I asked Janet to help me with my older miniature schnauzer, Sigfried.  As a puppy he had exasperated me because he had behavior problems that I did not know how to manage nor understand. 

Janet recognized Siegfried's behavior immediately as fear-aggression.  Her knowledge about Siegfried's behavior helped change my feelings of frustration to compassion and the suggestions she made are making Sigfried a better behaved dog.
